Brown Sugar Milk Tea or any of their top 10 are our go-to's.
This place has decent coffee, but the reason to come here is for the environment. It's like a haven from the city in the city. Street parking (free) and it's behind a hedge. You'll think you're at a korean catholic church but keep walking and in an old house is a coffee shop. Everything on their simple menu is $3 suggested cost. Cash.
